“I have to lock my kids up like they’re in prison. They should be out riding their bikes, digging for fossils in the rocks, playing in the dirt. They can’t do none of that here,” said Fawcett.

This is not the first time 9News has addressed sewage issues at Highland Village. Investigators did a full report in 2017.
